Maybe I will share in Grab thread pulak....but, till now, I am not sure to sign up for Grab or not.....still lazy

So far, I know, the disadvantage of Grab is the there is no cancellation fee, so, if rider ffk you, or take their own sweet time, you rugi.... that's my only gripe about Grab now

As previously, Grab fare is fixed, so you stuck in unexpected jam, you bad luck. But, now, Uber also fixed fare, so, Uber got no advantage jor

But, all Uber driver who switch to Grab, all say they earn significant higher.....and I doubt it due to the difference of 5% fees only, maybe the fare is higher.......not sure lah....since, I yet to drive for Grab, I cannot comment, else, it plain bullshit

Lol...so far I don't know any of my friends driving for Uber, neither Grab

Uber are too arrogant with their brand, and till the time they start losing out the drivers, where there is demand, but no supply, it will only hit them. And, looking at how Grab aggressively promoting and advertise now, soon, it matters of time Uber Malaysia close shop if they don't change, the beginning of the end. This is a classic example of how a successful company failed due to poor executiion.

Instead of them trying to differentiate their ride compare to Grab, they try to compete and similarised it with Grab, but, paying their driver much lesser than Grab, end of day, driver will choose whoever pay more

retention? hahah.....why they should retain old drivers with old car? Can't see any motivation for them, what the advantage of the experienced to them? Dream on lah......

What you said is correct, but, say, if you drive after work, you sacrifice your time, instead of either continue with your work or go home, this is the trade off. Of course, it absolutely your discretion if you think RM30-RM40 worth your 3 hours time, glad for you, but, as some other think you can earn more with that hours

It is survival of the fittest mar.....too bad Uber is applying their worldwide strategy in local market, does not understand local market situation

What I mean (disclaimer here, as I have not drive Grab) some forumer here claim that driving for Grab will yield you better return than Uber. My suggestion, keep your option open, don't limit yourself or too loyal to one ride sharing company

Well, for Uber, the best if the car is newly bought car, not 3-4 years cars....as everyone would like to take ride in new car. In fact, I remember last time, Uber got act like middleman between CIMB and Proton/ Perodua to assist any driver who want to buy car for Uber, CIMB provide loan, Proton/ Perodua provide car. Not sure if this arrangement still exist, but, it won't be really stupid anyone fall for it, as you entrap yourself with car loan

what to do.....when you need the money, got to do whatever it takes lor

No lah, Cheras no LRT/ KTM (yet)......previously, they kena pau by taxi, nowadays Uber/ Grab give them alternative. Spoken to few of them, last time they used to pay RM20-RM30 for taxi (not using meter, flat rate by taxi), so many rather not go out/ wait for bus, etc....now, for them RM5 is nothing to them for fast and reliable transport.

Lol....temp staff is too flattering....should be kuli, or slave

But, no doubt, driving Uber give me flexibility, when I choose to work, how long I choose to work, or at least based on my wallet flexibility and, this is the really stress free job (what stress do you have, when you just ferrying ppl around) to kill time, but, definitely cannot be your main source of income. Part time, maybe yes, if you could not find any better worthy activities that will reward you more than RM10 per hour.

But, I do agree, driving Uber is not sustainable, but, I disagree with you, driving Uber do not solve your short term money, far from it, it just able to help you tide over the difficult period.

I am located further south, usually my journey won't go there one...this is what I noticed with Cheras riders, day time, either someone need the ride urgent, convenience, so, they won't take LRT/ public transport (20%). Journey mainly to town, once a whole (maybe 5-10%) distance will be little bit far, PJ. But, majority of them will be students, from shopping mall (Leisure Mall, Cheras Sentral) or UCSI back to their condo or BRT Station Tasik Selatan, all nearby, less than 5km trip, RM5-RM7 trip. Night time, it is same like those students, plus shopping mall staff back home, also mainly short trip.

I can vouch for you, you can confirm get request from Mid Valley area...but, whether you want to brace the traffic jam there or not, up to you

this area, 50/50 short trip and long trip one

Thanks for the suggestion

No one will know, but, I had received notification from Uber ask for permission/ fill in form for SPAD verification, send thru Uber....so far I just ignore lah

Used to reduced, announce to all drivers....then, queitly removed without informing driver...if you read the thread, or my comment, I make a big fuss on it, until dunno how many email written, very nasty email......latest update, they replied, out of goodwill and case by case basis, they will pay me this time only

Lol....you dream lah, they won't until fire burn till their ass, i.e. when they losing more drivers, till there is no more drivers around to meet the demand.....

Bro, the link removed....can you put where is the 4 location?

Thanks....but, I wonder how they going to implement it? So far, I didn't know also KLCC is banned, coz I had pickup few riders last time from KLCC, no issues, maybe I lucky, riders is ready and waiting for me. And, when I don't see any rider, I just cabut, I don't wait.

It is in the apps, you click that, that, it autolink to google documents, where you filled in your particular and then, you send to Uber

Still can drive?

Most probably they will suspend your apps until you pay them

Alamak....not sure I am or not....coz last time they send me sms, but, I ignore...not sure they retract back the offer

Sorry, I don't intend to be Grab/ Uber driver full time....far from it

thanks....and, good luck to you.....

I might back driving on casual basis, when I feel nothing to do, bored...so long as the fare is not ridiculous low like now...or until Grab can use iOS, been almost a year already

Huhu.....today Uber Partner apps update, fixed fare effective today and you still do not know the rider destination until you start the trip.....bye bye Uber, final nail to the Uber coffin....

all the disadvantage of Grab, Uber go implement, advantage of Grab, buat senyap only......see no reason why to drive Uber anymore

Dunno, as usual, they never let you know for stuff disadvantage to driver....I suspect they calculate the pickup location to drop off location distance and average travelling time from google map.....I never trusted their ETA in their apps one, always inaccurate, a lot of time rider complain, say waiting time less than 2-3 min, actually 7-8 minutes.....they ignore the traffic conditions and also maybe count by straight line, not by road or journey

How I know it had been implemented? You try using Uber rider apps, create a fictitious pickup and drop off location, then, you will get the exact fare amount
